The Weight of Ruin

By Beatrice Tarrow

She woke up to find her name on posters across the city. The archive she spent fourteen years building is now the most dangerous document in the Reach.

THE ARCHIVIST KNOWS WHERE IT IS. THE ARCHIVIST BETRAYED THE REACH.

The commission is over. The mandate material Asha has been building for eleven months has made her a target for every faction in the Shattered Reach. Her lodging has been searched. The man she has been working beside has an oath she didn't know about, to a woman who wants the archive more than anyone.

As Asha and Orin travel deeper into the former court territories, documenting what was taken and finding the people who survived, the formal challenge that could change everything is building toward adjudication. The political stakes have never been higher. The night before it all comes apart, neither of them talks about what comes after. They don't need to.
Slow burn, political intrigue, and a middle book that refuses to let the romance off easily.

Book Two of The Unmade Courts trilogy. All three books are available now.
